The boys played soccer games during the past two days. Saturday the boys played in a soccer tournament on the Yacht club soccer grounds. The younger boys did not fare as well as the older boys. Interesting things happened with the younger team....one of the boys from the paraguay teams managed to get 3 yellow cards in 1 game - how? he switched jerseys until he was finally caught. I don't know how many balls David Sweeney stopped with his stomache but he kept playing through it... Way to go David. Joey C decided to give back as good as he was getting & he also manged to push through.
The older boys fared better coming in 2nd in their tournament. In the championship game they lost 2-1. Just ask Cameron & Derek about the cross bars - back to back misses. The boys saw how passionate the Paraguayans are about their soccer. There was a celebration after the tournament where drinks & food were provided. Empanadas, sandwiches, cakes & soda.
What was interesting to watch - not just the games - was the way the soccer fields grew from 1 field to 3. We watched the grounds crew take apart football posts and make 2 sets of soccer goals
